Really good video, appreciate your perspective. I'll add, in my opinion, a Dev-backed esports scene feels way more accessible as a casual viewer. The "legitimacy" a formal structure/competitive format makes it easier to follow. If I'm a pro League of Legends fan - I know exactly how and when to check when the next competition is. There are standings, and I can see which teams are on top, and which teams suck ass. Dev-backed esports tend to be a bit more centralized. For Melee or other fighting games, I WANT to be a fan. But as someone who is not well-versed in the community, it's not simple to find out when and where to tune-in. Anyone who *wants to* obviously can, but it's not like "oh let me go look at the official website/twitch page."
I would disagree a bit just on the basis of liquipedia, most games with a significant comp scene have a page with trackers for upcoming tourneys, player bios, often head to head stats etc. Also LOL is way more accessible to play but at a layman level the 150+ champs, upgrades, half hour games is a lot more daunting to me than a dozen viable characters running at and hitting eachother until they fly off and die
@@DuringDarkI don’t think he was talking about the game mechanics but how is easy it is for the average normie or someone like me, who is from a third world country and platform fighters are basically not a thing here. I love watching melee but I am not super in on which tourney is happening when and where to watch it. Where as for val or cod I can just boot up their official channel and watch the games. Pretty easy.
@@namirahnaf711 agreed, I also fucking love Melee and have for years but I'm not sure if there's any centralized resource just for like. Seeing what tournaments are coming up.
@@muqmanor yeah, it would be nice like CS doesn’t have Dev Backed esports scene (atleast completely) but you can go to ESLs website to basically know and watch Every level and Type of tournaments going on with CS. I guess Summit used to be like that for Melee. But now that it is dead I think there needs to be new more easy to grasp website or social channel for keeping track of tournaments and what’s going on. It’ll give the viewers and easier way of being engaged with the games competitive scene. I think ease of access to the knowledge of tournament time tables / tiers / players is the biggest problem for the dwindling viewership for melee.

Hey slime just started as a refining engineer this week and I was excited to learn that slop is a technical term we use and I think of you every time PS thanks for this delicious slop
When Slime was talking about Team Liquid's sponsors I assumed he was going to bring up SAP. That software is intended for large companies and takes millions of dollars to implement. Not a single person evaluating whether to implement SAP will have first heard of it because they saw the logo on a liquid member stream.
There's value in brand recognition though. Very, very rarely are people making decisions directly due to seeing it as a sponsor. It'd also be weird if people picked AT&T as their carrier because it was a sponsor. These brands aren't really trying to have people discover them through these partnerships (generally). It's more that it normalizes the existence and pervasiveness of a brand. Them being alongside other major brands lends credibility to them being stable, trustworthy, etc. So while you aren't making the decision solely on that, it still has a positive impact. Same reason Lockheed Martin might sponsor something that isn't just for people making military contracts.
@@hounvsSome goods have to work off of other ways to get your loyalty. Stuff like detergent and floor cleaners focus on creating a brand identity that’ll subconsciously take over your idea of what clean means to you. Just seeing the name of a company even if you don’t know what it does can help. All those trailers for trucks are for really big companies that you’ve never really cared about until you have to care about them. Don’t underestimate the power of name recognition.
@@markvieyra9950 I think you replied to me by accident D: My first sentence was that there's value in brand recognition and you ended telling me not to underestimate name recognition. We basically had the same conclusion, just expanded on it differently.
Yeah, but the person watching it might be like "hey I should get a SAP certification" because of it. Not directly, of course, but if you were someone who was considering that, you might be swayed further by a promotion like that. SAP has it's own certification courses, so they make money through you directly getting a cert. Otherwise, more people who are certified in SAP=more companies that consider it an option they want to invest in. Sometimes it isn't even about the primary product
I love the spectrum of different excited feelings I can get from a notification that there is a new video from slime, because on one end it's a breakdown of some complex topic that I don't understand very well, or funny vibeo
I love these kinds of videos from Slime because he gives off such a different vibe on The Yard and the video at the Riot HQ, but then you get something like this and realize he's like an intellectual genius of esports/creator culture
My uncle works at Sprecher and does sales for them. He randomly told me at a family gathering that they bought an energy drink company called Juvee and my jaw dropped. I asked if he knew anything about the company and all he said is that kids love it because some gamer geek founded it and it prints money.
I think you're one of the funniest guys out there but this is the c o n t e n t I love most, when you're sharing your insight as someone who's be involved in "esports" for real and seen a bunch of different aspects of it, just like when you've dug into the BTS behind the scenes stuff. Also I hope you're still working on an esports sitcom or whatever because if anyone could make it work it's you and nick, best good luck.
This strikes a great balance of being entertaining and informative with your eSports background. I wish the context from the original video was cut in at slightly lengthier intervals, but still a great watch :)
Dude, do more videos like this! Hate to say ”you react good for brain” but you have the combo of a very good take/explanation on business in the industry, and shitting on a dumbass question in chat lmao Much love man!
I really liked hearing your perspective on this topic, I would like to hear your perspective on the following. Bigger esports scenes like League of Legends feel like they are losing character and what made them big in the first place, the love for competing, and I believe that's because the scene is so big already and playerslots have to be filled, also with an academy team in the LCS for example, that the pool of players seems muddied because you don't only have these people who are extremely passionate about the game and competing anymore, which in turn makes it feel like the scene is losing its passion eventhought there might actually be more talent which can flourish because of the size of the scene. While in smaller esports only the people who are truly passionate about the game and the community will be in the biggest competitions and reach notoriety but there won't be alot of money to be made but the scene will stay "real" to an extend. Would you agree that in esports especially, success of the capitalisation of the competiton will always make it feel inauthentic after some time?
Speaking of content companies pivoting to game dev, Rooster Teeth developed their own game inhouse called Vicious Circle which launched in 2019. It flopped massively, it's peak active users were a little over 300 and they made it free to play a couple weeks after release but even that didn't save it. They lost a tonne of money on it, and laid off their entire Games division. In hindsight, that was probably the first step on what eventually led to the whole company shutting down.
Slime is my favorite modern day philosopher because no one is brave enough to be as crude yet wise as this genius, and even if he isn't saying anything super profound he is rooted in facts and emotions. What a jolly good video!
everything is a money sink, except lobbying which pays out 1000:1. we should never do anything else because that's the most efficient way to gain and protect capital
Franchising kills esports. And you are very right about prize pools having diminishing returns, which is true for all sports. Golf is learning that the hard way right now, people dgaf how much money they make.
good point about parasocial interactions/relationships being a spectrum. viewer, here's a few good questions to evaluate your own parasocial relationship with the man on screen: would you give him twenty dollars if you saw him in real life and he really needed it would you give him fifty dollars if you saw him in real life and he really needed it would you give him one hundred dollars if you saw him in real life and he really needed it

i love how slime and the podcast he's watching is talking about certain elements that make esports not profitable and then there's always a comment about fortnite that is contrary to these takes. We can all say were grown up here and look at fortnite past its cringe majority COMP player base (not zero builds that's essentially just the same as apex, val or league - majority casual and young adult) and see that enigma that is their revenue pipeline.

I applied to a position at imc last month and on the application for one of the drop down options for "how did you hear about imc" they had team liquid
I tuned into the stream for the end of this. Caught the last 10 minutes of the video while Slime was watching, and was honestly impressed with Nadeshot and his answers to the questions of the interview. I never thought he was ever that interesting or particularly smart but after watching the video I fuck with Nadeshot. All thanks to Slime :) Then I said something in chat about CoD vs. Smash and Nadeshot's come up (I agreed with Slime's viewpoint) at the time, but Slime read my comment on stream and called me a dumbass. It was weird and felt my comment was misinterpreted. When I responded "WTF. Why did you call me a dumbass, I agreed with you?!?" Slime asked "Did that make you mad...??" My answer then and still is today, "Not really". Interesting experience though, I was more confused than anything. Maybe my comment was interpreted correctly and I'm just a total walking zombie dumbass and shouldn't have typed anything, who knows. All jokes aside I did find this video and the discussion super interesting. Good content Slime. Now I know why people stay in abusive relationships...
I think realistically, Riot's esport got too big to succeed. Like they ramped up to superbowl effort with like less than 10% of the actual audience that the superbowl had. It's exciting, but it's not sustainable.
"He's more of a RUclipsr Yard Commentary Transformative Content Savant man than Ludwig is now man. Slime keep it real man. Now listen to sledgehammer by Savant."
Hey local brawlhalla nerd here, that game is more alive than ever. The devs take really good care of the esports scene which really exploded during the pandemic. It’s probably the second most popular platform fighter after smash(s).
All of this reminds me of what happened with Donut. The hosts figured out they could have a bigger piece of the pie without Donut while doing the same exact thing they were already doing at Donut
do you genuinely think that would be a better venue to speak about what he is speaking about? do you think that people are not "eating it up" in this format?

Brother I’m not gonna lie I think we cannot wear red hats anymore
love the editing on this one
Bro if this was in a lecture hall and Slime had a black turtleneck on and a laser pointer, people would eat it up. The man is spitting here.
do you genuinely think that would be a better venue to speak about what he is speaking about? do you think that people are not "eating it up" in this format?
i didnt know this was a slime video and missed it at first. glad i circled back
thanks I will take this into consideration
Slime back with another banger
damn quite informative love this sorta content.
this video reminds me of that rfk jr watchalong of the presidential debates from a couple months back
The notepad is probably so if he has a question he can come back to it without interrupting the guest
I love hearing about this stuff

Finally, now I know what to think about 100T

I'm so glad slime called out the guy saying something negative because he thinks it's cool
Slime is a gaming snob. It’s cool that exists though.
